Idol No More

Chief Theresa Spence and Elder Raymond Robinson are going to eat solid food and return to their respective homes. That is a good thing from nearly everyone’s point of view, even if people have different reasons for believing so.

Myself, I simply didn’t want to see anyone die that way.

Even in the short term, we can note some accomplishments, mostly attributable to what the hunger strikes exposed.

Chief Theresa Spence won her point, is pushing it further, and is paying for doing so. She went on a hunger strike December 11th to demand a meeting with the Prime Minister. That meeting will happen on January 11th and she will attend at the invitation of the National Chief. That constitutes a win for her.
